I like Islam because of how pious the Muslims are, and the way Muslims pray, as well as wudhu.
well yeah. i mean people bow down to a king and why not to a god, they just tend to say thank you when something good happens to them, so why not say thankyou to god when something bad happens, we desserve it thats why it happens, so thank god for that too.
Umm, what?
As an ex-Buddhist of the Theravada denomination I do not know what you are referring to. Unless I was in part of a different sangha, I'm uncertain about what you mean.
yeah isn't the dalai lama a buddhist? he doesn't shower, nor do his followers, or is that a different religion
The best thing to do is learn about the other religions, that way it looks better when you speak of them. You have mentioned things before which are not true within religions, after all.
i have never been interested in religions before, i have never wanted to know about them but know the more i know about everything the better for me.
God =/= Gangs, unless God is evil. Right? And God is not evil.
thats right god isn't evil.
alright then i'll use your example from the previous post.
you said tha you would not hurt anyone because it would bring harm to your family and that of a victim is that right?
one wouldn't want to hurt anyone because his family will suffer for his actions, right. and so will the family of the victim.
so, many people who fear that (the suffering of his family) those people do not got hurting other people (just as us muslims do our best not to commit sins because then our family might suffer the punishment of hell, because a family will do anything to protect one of its own, thus leading to the whole family commiting sin by protecting their loved one from being convicted of the crime or sin)
Ah, I see. Thanks for this. But why would they disobey him for fun? I would never knowingly disobey God.
they didn't dissobey Allah for fun, but instead they were stubborn people they thoght they knew what was best, and before they came to that freedom they were slayed by faroh, they were lost people, weak, Allah reinforced them with a prophet of their own (from one of their tribes, a jewish tribe) but they still understand. they wanted more. they are the people who have wittnessed so many miracles but still like i said they thoght they knew better than Allah.
So, not all of them will be punished?
well i'll tell you something else too. you know how i've said that the jews have changed the parts of their scripture that spoke about Muhammed (saws) and those that spoke of Isa (as). the pepole who made those changes were a minority, they were the educated people who knew how to read and write, while the other jews weren't educated so the un-educated jews (the illiterate) may have a good chance of entering heaven but Allah knows best not me. i may be completely wrong.
the illiterate jews went with what the educated ones tolled them, because they didn't know how to read, so in a way they are not responsible for beig jews and dying as jews.
If such a thing did happen, then it would be Allah's weakness that they could not continue on the straight path, and would continue sinning. It would be a problem with the way they were designed...
no you see again that is a wrong thing to say.
Allah has given us free will, He cannot force us to accept him, if he did then we would all enter heaven. we must make a start, or a search, for him, just as lava has mentioned that we need to reach god we need to yake the first step in order for him to guide us. (he can make us all obedient to his commands, very easily but because of the free will Allah wanted them to be muslims in their own way, to chose that for themself), but they always held their head up high and didn't obey the orders of their master.
I'm sorry, but I personally cannot believe such a thing. In the Bible Moses died of old age at 120. Can you show me some Hadith or ayat about when Moses was drowned by the people?
i'll give you the verse but not at the moment i can't find it but when i do i'll poste it here for you. it's in the second chapter but i just don't know where exactly. sorry for that
Maybe! I don't like giving my location away over forums though- I don't mind MSN, but not forums. Anyone could read forums.
ok i understand sorry for thinking that you are from englangd or anyother country
If kicking you out meant sending you to an eternal punishment, then no, as long as you were a good person in my house and were willing to move out, I would look after you for a while as you get a house. But if you did anything, I would kick you out in a heartbeat. However, I am not similar to God. If I could, I would build every person a house, give them enough food, and make sure they were comfortable and happy.
well hasn't Allah already done that for us?
Allah has given everyone a home, he has given everyone a chance to own a better place in heaven, he has given everyone strength to work, he has given us food for free( we just need to plant it and take care of it) and aren't we happy in this world, don't we have families, don't we have other people who care about us, don't we have so much more.
but you see, you didn't think about this, you didn't remember that Allah has already given us all of that which you said you would give to someone if you could and we just need to obey him for a very very short time. but who does?
how would you feel if you gave someone all of that wich you said and at the end they thank someone else insted of you, they try to embarrase your name, they try to make you equal to someone who has done nothing for them, how would you feel?
and now imagine how Allah feels and still we have happines and do not thank him nor worship him. and we even call him a non tolerant god,or a non forgiver. just imagine that my friend. how does Allah feel, who wants nothing in return except for worshipping and praises, which infact is still for our benefit.
That is unfair.. so even those who did not learn of Allah in their time will go to Hell? Even a pious nonbeliever?
well those who were illiterate and were guided to a different religion on purpose they may be rewarded with heaven but only Allah knows that not me
Sorry, it appears as jealousy or distrust. Allah has more power than me. Why not offer classes in heaven or something? :cover:
there are classes in heaven, heaven in in levels.
